Description

Levenhuk Rainbow 2L PLUS Moonstone Microscope is an ideal choice for children taking biology classes at school, as well as for medical students. With this microscope you can observe specially prepared microscope samples, and also prepare them on your own–explore all the things that surround you in your everyday life. This microscope’s quality optics and wide magnification rangemake it a truly universal tool that can be used for many different tasks. The kit includes everything needed for a beginning biologist.

Optics
The optics are made of high-quality glass of high transparency that does not distort the images. For even better light transmission, the lenses are coated with multiple layers of anti reflective coating. As a result you can enjoy contrast, sharp, and clear views of observed objects.

The microscope is equipped with three objective lenses: 4x, 10x and 40xs. The most powerful lens (40xs) has a special spring mechanism that protects the optics from mechanical damage during focusing. The spring-loaded objective lens will retract when brought into contact with the coverslip, preventing any scratches or cracks on the optical surfaces.

Illumination
The microscope features two bright LED illuminators. Lower lighting is used for observing microscope specimens in transmitted light – for example, thin slices of plants, microorganisms in aquarium water, and other transparent samples. Upper lighting is used when observing opaque objects. For instance, you can use it for examining paper money, or coins for scuffs and dents. When both illuminators are turned on, you can observe semi-transparent samples. The brightness level can be regulated to achieve the best viewing results with each microscope sample.

Body design and power supply
The durable metal body of the instrument ensures its long service life. The microscope can withstand many years of highly intensive use in schools, colleges, and medical laboratories. The 45-degrees inclined and 360-degrees rotatable head allows for the most convenient use of the instrument. When working in a group, just turn the head in the desired direction instead of moving the whole instrument.

The microscope works on AC power, as well as on batteries – that means you can even use it in places with no power outlets.

Experiment kit
The microscope comes with a Levenhuk K50 Experiment Kit, which contains lots of useful accessories for beginners. The kit includes ready-to-use slides, tools for preparing your own samples (microtome, forceps, and blank slides), and a very helpful user guide with all necessary information about the instrument and experiment descriptions.
